ART READINESS GUIDELINES

 

 

 

 

1.  Custom Chenille works in IBM PC format.   Have the customer email Custom Chenille's Customer Service Dept..  Have the customer put their company name and project name in the subject field.

 

2.  In most cases, Custom Chenille can convert a Mac file to a PC format if it is sent via email.  If the customer is unable to email, a hard copy can be used to recreate the artwork

 

3.  Preferred Vector files supported by Corel Draw. This is the most precise and efficient way to transfer the artwork into a design.

 

4.  Graphic Files are acceptable artwork. These files are a picture or “snapshot” of your artwork. From these images, vector artwork must be recreated. This is up to our artist’s interpretation.

 

5.  Stitch Files are created files previously digitized. These files are proprietary to the embroidery machinery. They still may need adjustment in order to run to our specifications. Preferred format is *.CND.
